Types of pests and their treatments

Insects

Aphids, caterpillars, beetles, whiteflies, spider mites, and slugs/snails.

 

Treatment:

  • Organic: Hand-picking, insecticidal soaps, neem oil, or introducing beneficial insects like ladybugs or predatory nematodes.
  • Chemical: Use of specific insecticides targeting the pest, though these should be a last resort as they can harm beneficial insects.
